1t can hardly admit of a doubt that the inn
preston that Europe is likely to see gener-
al war in the spring is strengthening daily.
European statesmen all talk peace, at least
as far as their public utterances are con-
cerned. But there seems to be an under
current of circumstances that is carrying
them towards war in spite of themselves.
And that undercurrent consists not in dis
agreements concerning vital questions, but
in the hatreds and jealousies of adjacent
peoples, holding grudges against one another
growing out of events Of the past, and thirst
ing for revenge. To be sure the Bulgarian
question is not yet settled, and threats of
popular defiance Of Russia are still heard,
but since Bismarck's plain statement in the
Reichstag that Germany cared very little for
the fate of Bulgaria, they have grown faint
ei, and there is now very little chance that
Bulgaria patriotism win have the temerity
to manifest itself in any manner obnoxious
the Car. The eyes Of Europe are no
longer concentrated on the East, but are
turned upon two of the great powers which,
armed to the teeth, stand glaring at one an
other across the Rhine-one of them longing
for the hour when it shall feel strong enough
to attempt to retrieve the humiliation of
Sedan and Metz, and the other by taunts
and insults seeking to provoke its adversary
into premature attack. 1t is this menacing
attitude of France and Germany, and not
he unsettled question of the Bulgarian
hrone, that is causing anxiety in Europe
and giving rise to the gloomy predictions
that come across the waters.

All FROM MAINE.
How Some Boston HoFsemen were
AstonIshed on the Arsenal Road.

Great crowds enjoyed the sleighing on the
Arsenal road in Boston on Friday and Sat-
urday of last week, and many fast horses
were out There have been fewer crowds
of larger size on the road since it was opened
as public thoroughfare. Single and double
teams, four, and even six in hand turnouts
were numerous. Most of the latter were
large excursion parties which had come from
adjacent cities to see the sport. Among the
other turnouts was sleigh so heavy and
commodiOus that a family might have shared
it comfortably with the solitary Country
man." who seemed content to jog along
among the dashing turnouts. He wore a big
Scotch cap, which was drawn over his head
and part of his face, and with pair of vel
low mittens he held pair Of looped rens
over fea-Dltten gray mare. Nobody paid
any attention TO him while he was warming
the mare up. Presently three pretty good
going horses came flying down the road at
full drive. The man switched his sleigh
about and was after them in jiffy. He had
them all beaten before they had gone 500
yards. This gave him prominence, but no
body could tell who he was The next seen
of him was when he sided up to Mclean,
a famous Boston trotter. Mclean had
the best Of the race for a short way, as the
mare broke. The manner in which his ru-
raj highnesss yanked her into trot again
down the road the mare shot by Mclean, and
pulled out ahead Of him easily enough At
ter the man had passed all the other boosted
Boston speeders people began inqu.ring who
the driver was, and it was found that he was
none other than Mr.. g. ii. Nelson of Water
vile, Me-, rich and influential horse breed
er, the owner of Nelson, Dictator, Chief, Col.
West and several other very prominent stall
lions.
On Saturday there were still greater crowds
on the Arsenal road, and everyone INQUIRED
for the man from Maine. But he did not APP
pear. There were, however, plenty Of Maine
horses there Speaking of several of them,
the Boston Sunday Herald says: "Plumed
Knight made his bow to the Boston public as
q road horse yesterday. He is handsome
black animal, sired by Mike Logan. Mr.. j.
II. Davis purchased him very recently from
Col. w. G. Morrill, of Pittsfld, Me. There
We're only three horses in Maine that earned
more money than Plumed Kniiht did last
year Some time ago at Mystic Park he did
a mile at a private trial in 2 81 Mr. Charles
Thing drove him Saturday, and the horse
moved beautifully. Plumed Knight made it
uncomfortable for those who brushed him."
Mr. George E. French has received from
Maine the bay gelding Thomas, who holds
pacing record Of 2 20 This horse has paced
at 2:12 gait on the ice this winter Mr..
French feels confident that he can s'leaye'
anybody on the road to sleigh.

Some Portland RilIs.

There are two bills now before the Legis-
lature, in which Portland has Il special inter-
est. These are the bills t. allow the Port
land d Rochester to extend its road around
the Marginal Way to the ea .i,rn extremity
of the city, and over the OH Kennebec &
Portland road-bed to the western: and the
bill to establish land commission with pow
er to acquire for the city, by purchase or by
the right of eminent domain, certain lands
in Back Cove and Fore river An inspection
of the two bills would suggest that there
might be some connection between them, but
from such information as we have been able
to get concerning them, it would appear that
they are notin any way related. The first is
simply move of the railroad to get ia
cilities and connections whichit may need in
the future, If certain anticipations are real
lied. Now that the road has consented to
the amendment suggested by the Board of
Aldermen locating its track inside the Mar
ginal Way, there does not appear to be any
reasonable ground Of objection to that part
of the bill which covers the eastern extern
sion. With regard to the extension of its
tracks over the old Kennebec G. Portland
railroad bed, the case is not so clear. Deer
ing Park is going to be injured by il, and the
grade OF Congress street will very likely
have to be changed on account of it. The
Board of Mayor and Aldermen ask that this
part of the extension be authorized only sub
Ject to their consent. The road, however, is
unwilling to accept this condition. The city
authorities ought to have pretty close super
vision over roads within the city limits, and
the Legislature should give it to them.
The commission bill is, we understand.
simply step in the work Of purifying Back
Cove. The flats are now owned by private
parties who refuse to sell or improve
them. The plan to get rid of the horrible
stencil that comes from that quarter in the
summer months involves among other things
the filling up of the creek west OF behring's
Bridge which is in the town Of Deering, and
that portion of the flats impoundeG by the
Marginal Way, which are owned by private
parties. Both these places are exceedingly
filthy and 1t is essential to the purifca-
ton Of Back Cove that they be filled up. The
city cannot do it now because it does not
own nor control them and the present owners
show no disposition to do it, The bill is
simply to enable the city to acquire this
with a view to putting it into such
that it will not be detrimental to
the public health as it is new. The authori-
ty Of the Harbor Commissioners is in no wise
affected by it.

New York Tribune.
The proceedings in Congress during the

ton has found expression in various ways.

The assembling Of the British Parliament
on Thursday will disclose the condition of
the two parties and show how serious is the
rupture in the Conservative ranks growing
out of Lord Churchill's retirement, and
whether any, and if any, how much, prog
ress has been made toward reconciliation
between Gladstone and the Liberal dissent
ers from his Irish policy. Up to the present
time there has been nothing satisfactory on
either of these points. That discord has
entered the Tory ranks we know, but how
serious the rupture is remains to be seen.
If it is as serious as has been alleged, the
present ministry can hardly continue long

One would infer from the letters of Arch
bishop Corrigan to DR.. McGlynn that the
Catholic church forbade its clergy to partici-
pate at all in politics. But facts
seem to show that it is only when
they espouse a side that is believed
to be inimical to the interests of the
church that the prohibition is enforced. In
1874 Archbishop Corrigan, then Bishop of
Newark, tried to use the whole power and
influence of his position to defeat amend
ments to the constitution Of New Jersey, re-,
curing the maintenance of free public
schools and forbidding the appropriation Of
public money for the use Of ..any society, as
ISOLATION. or corporation whatever Yet he
received no rebuke from Rome for meddling
with politics.

A gang of young toughs congregate night ly on the open lot corner of Baldwin street and Davenport avenue and conduct them selves in such manner as to render them a nuisance to the neighborhood. Last night two ladies were grossly insulted by the gang when passing, vile language being used. The police will no doubt land some of the gang in the lookup at an early date.
